Boxing/how to get more fight in an area

Question
I'm 22 and have only 1 fight.  I'm from Alabama, but now thanks to the army I'm in Kansas.  Is there anything I can do to get more fights in an area.  Or Is there a good website that can tell me about all the fights within the area I'm in.

Answer
Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, remind me that you are in Kansas, and I will send you a contact.  If you aren't already, you will need to get registered with USA Boxing.  You will also need a certified coach to work your corner during competitions.
